My heart is breaking for the heartbroken.

Please say a prayer tonight for the family of a woman named Emilee. I met Emilee several months ago on a message board for mommies. Emilee was expecting a little girl. She was handed devastating news that her daughter would most likely not survive the pregnancy, and that if she did, she would pass away soon after birth.

Emilee handled the diagnosis with dignity and grace. She set up a Facebook page entitled "Love for Leila Grace" and she share pictures of her during her pregnancy and updates. She did what she could to raise awareness for Anencephaly. Leila was due on Valentine's Day, but was born early, just two days after Thanksgiving. Leila lived only a short time, but I know how desperately Emilee wanted her, and I can only imagine how much love Leila felt during her time on Earth.

I can't even begin to imagine the pain that Emilee endured, knowing that her daughter would not survive. I can't imagine her pain, holding her daughter and knowing that she would be taking her last breath. I can't imagine that pain.

Sadly, that pain was too much for Emilee. I was saddened tonight to read that Emilee took her own life yesterday. Please say a prayer for her family, especially the young son she leaves behind. Their pain, that I already could not imagine, has been multiplied now with the passing of Emilee. My heart breaks for her as well. I wish no parent had to suffer the pain of losing a child.

Rest in peace, Emilee. I hope you can find peace now. I hope you are holding your precious Leila Grace tight. I really hope your pain is over now.
